32" better than this 42"?

Hi Guys,

Unsure if this is the correct place to post this, if not please advise or move thread.

I'm currently using this 40" 720P Samsung TV as my PC monitor:

I'm looking to upgrade to a new TV/Monitor to make use of 1080P res and 3D.
I've liked what i've seen with LG's Passive 3D as i'm not a fan of active.
Money isnt an issue

I've got my eye on this 42" for $1000

But considering going smaller such as this 32"

The reason for thinking about a 32" is because if both are @ 1080P, i'd assume reducing the screen size would = better picture?

The 32" screen shows less favorable stats than the 42" and most places i've looked (samsung & sony) show better stats and features on the lager models than the smaller ones.

Should i just go for the 42 and sit further back? Or am i going about this decision in the wrong way?
Assistance and/or opinions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

waste of money... if you want a pc then buy a monitor no bigger than 24" 2500/1600 max but for most games 1920/1200 is the max you should go for as most cards will take a performance hit when you go bigger. also make sure you have enough gddr ram to cope with the screen rez. 1 gig for up to 1920x1080p/1920x1200 2gig if the screen is bigger.
using a tv will bring its own problems from things like games not detecting the display properly, ghosting and poor response rates. spend 200 on a decent monitor and then you can spen 800 on a decent flatpanel which you can connect when you want to watch a movie... it really is the better option...
